vvtopkar: Why so negative? Whether or not someone uses (a Mac/Windows/Linux/BSD/an abacus) has little to do with you or me, so there's no need to take pride or be offended by their decision. Now, if there's foul play involved, then it's against all our interests...
theguardianlegend: Yeah, it will be very interesting to see how Apple does. Their products and their marketing have so far targeted the consumer market. Most businesses probably don't care so much how their computers look, and that is one selling point that Apple uses. Just like how most employees work in cubicles and use copy machines, cheap ball-point pens, etc... Because having an artsy pen doesn't do the company any good.
Bottom line is whether or not companies will buy the argument Apple's making that Macs are cheaper and more reliable (TCO blah blah.) I'm not sure if Apple will benefit from Bill Gates leaving, though. I think they'd benefit more from Windows Vista's perceived deficiencies, whether true or not.
